  • A great series but I do get annoyed the number of times I hear British Food is Best. Not necessarily! I live overseas and I see and eat many many fantastic foods. I even hear on UK TV - British this or British that. British Salmon, Ducks etc - do they have passports?

    • Food is different all over the world, things we like, things we don't. I am french live in france, but yes I love english food, and japenese, and itlaien etc Wake up and enjoy life, and eating, you sound so so so miserable. Have a sprig of holly to cheer you up.

    • I sympathise with you Rob, but here in Britain for many years if anyone wanted to make a product trendy it was always 'Irish', Irish Butter, Irish Cider, Irish Chilies!! Now the trend is to call it 'Organic'!!!...

  • only just caught the last 2 episodes. Very good but not very well promoted by bbc - I had not realised this was a new programme and not just endless repeat of an earlier series.

  • I left the uk in 1971 and these guys have taught me all I didn't know about traditional english food and how to cook it. Thankyou. I enjoy all you do and how you are and any complaints are to be sent to me and I shall deal with them!
    Again all my thanks

  • hi
    the first time ever, tried a dish from the telly, made the fish pie lads, bloody great even the wife ate it all. Marrow next !!

    Brad

  • why is there not a copy of the fish pie recipe with the others, its looked lovely

  • Love to see you both cook, with all that enthusiasm. It's catching. I have to agree with the first comment: we know we're watching BB, so don't say it so often.
    And please, please get pronunciations right (the whole nation copies you).
    Paella is pa-e-ya, and not payella. thank you
